Talk 1: 7 PM to 7:35 PM

Title: Cryptography - Diophantine equation

Description

Diophantine equation is an equation where only the integer solutions matter. This has shown up in various cryptographical schemes like RSA, Diffie Hellman Key Exchange, and Elliptic Curve Cryptography. In this talk, Kel Zin will analyze some interesting CTF problems related to diophantine equation.

Speaker

Title: Hoodwinked

Description

Steganography is the art of misdirection. The main idea is to trick a suspecting observer into thinking that nothing is there, when everything is present in plain sight. In this talk, Nigel will cover: (1) what steganography is, (2) LSB-steganography and (3) its applications in digital watermarking.
